Case Study: Jildor Shoes achieves 250% sales increase and 50% lower TCO with BigCommerce

Jildor Shoes pairs perfectly with new ecommerce platform

Jildor Shoes is a family‑run footwear retailer founded in 1949 with four Long Island stores and a large online catalog (over 41,000 SKUs). The company’s custom ColdFusion site became costly and slow to update, lacked modern payment options and flexible product variant support, and created ongoing reliability and compliance burdens for the small team.

Jildor migrated to BigCommerce with design partner Diztinct, gaining plug‑and‑play payments (PayPal, Chase Pay), robust product option management, and built‑in security and uptime. The move cut total cost of ownership by about 50%, drove a 250% lift in sales from abandoned‑cart emails, and freed the team to focus on growth rather than platform maintenance.
